CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 4 ]So on the grounds that some of these studies have not been able to combine the variables, this study is thus imperative to depart from the earlier studies in locale and content coverage. It is thus necessary and imperative to examine the relationship between teachers’ characteristics (of attitude, qualification, experience, as well as availability) and students’ academic performance in biology. Purpose of the StudyThe general purpose of this study is to establish the maxim between ... Continue reading---

CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]ConclusionsPoor academic performance of students has been a source of worry to all stakeholders in education. Efforts have been intensified by researchers to evolve researches that would highlight its causes and possibly find lasting solutions to this menace. Many researches through recommendations have suggested solutions to this problem and yet there is still high rate of failure in both internal and external examinations. Could it be that most of these suggestions were not imple ... Continue reading---
